The part that rhymes with 2006-2008 is that Banks were providing warehouse lines to Mortgage Co.'s who would then originate mortgages & Wall Street would buy them, repackage them (MBS/CDO's) & sell them to the world. When delinquencies spiked, the...

Good take below. I agree that a strategy providing liquidity to forced sellers of direct loans, due to elevated outflows, will be one of the best performing investment strategies over the next 3 years.
While we're seeing panic in certain areas of the market (private credit), it has not translated to merger arbitrage, where the current average yield of 10.8% is far below a March 2020-type environment. Once we see arbitrage yields nearing 20%, then...
MicroStrategy bought 17,994 Bitcoin at $70k. But they also bought at $90k and $80k. They're playing a decade long game with a corporate balance sheet. You need to be cautious right now, you are not MicroStrategy.

I've never quite understood this either. Private credit is first in line during liquidations and they often lend 0.5x to 2.0x ARR when the transaction happens. After a few years of growth that's often <1x ARR and probably...
A new @HooverInstitution study confirms what I’ve been saying for months. The CA Billionaire Tax has a negative NPV of -$24.7B. Meaning if this gets on the ballot and is approved in November, California doesn’t just collect less than promised,...

Since you have a lot of free time on your hands now @matt_oppy, I would suggest running some quick numbers (can even have Claude do it for you) on what an accelerated buyback program could mean for the long-term share...
Reminder that investors who requested redemptions from semi-liquid private-credit funds -- but couldn't get all of it back due to caps -- still pay fees on the unfulfilled portion. The fees don't stop just because the gates go up.
“Although I caution anyone from doing unsecured loans, I have done some... To minimize risk [I make] sure that the money will be invested in a manner that will increase sales and profits at the business and also that the...
When the financial crisis was heating up, geniuses at Deutsche Bank opted to buy more "highly rated" tranches of mortgage backed securities. With that in mind, when I see that DB says they are expanding their private credit exposure, I...
The thing I get apologized to for most when someone first comes to me is how messy their books are. Please stop. Genuinely. Almost everyone who comes to me has a messy backlog. It's not a reflection of who you are,...
The software maturity wall isn't a secret. Everyone has this chart. $38B in 2028. Mostly B and below. These aren't getting refinanced at par. They're getting extended. The only question is whether the A&E is consensual or coercive. And if the last...
Blue Owl says the marks are real. Every sell-side analyst has a Buy. Yet $OBDC trades at a 25% discount to NAV. Finally had a chance to go through the portfolio. Found exactly what you'd expect: stale marks, understated software exposure,...

When AI Hits Jobs: Macquarie Warns Mortgage Stress Could Ripple Through Australia's Banks AI-driven employment shocks could put 10% of mortgage payments at risk.

This is, indirectly, how valuation multiples for RIAs are starting to come down slightly. Because the headline number of "such-and-such got a certain multiple of EBITDA" isn't the walk-away-with-cash valuation, it's the valuation including post-closing growth contingencies. In the past, that...

A cheap stock with a bad management team is not a good investment. Valuation means nothing if the people running the business are misallocating capital, chasing the wrong metrics, or treating the company like their personal piggy bank. I look for leaders...
UK borrowing costs are on the rise once more this morning. Per the Bloomberg chart below, yields on 10-year British government bonds are again above 4.70% as the war in the Middle East pushes Brent oil north of $95 once again. This...
Macro: private-credit stress rising; Key: valuation opacity at Blue Owl, higher rates; Risks: hidden losses, redemptions; Trade: cut private-credit exposure. Takeaway: market to reprice risk. — Viktor Kopylov, PhD, CFA More insights: t.me/si14Kopylov
Private credit is a ~$2 Trillion market and growing. Now 5 major private credit funds halted redemptions. The assets are illiquid but investors expect liquidity and price discovery. This is exactly what tokenization solves.
Have you asked yourself this? “How robust are our operating margins and cash positions if this so-called 2.4% US inflation is merely a lagging indicator, and we’re confronted with a sustained 20% energy cost shock, still-high interest rates, and regulatory upsets...
A Private Credit Fund of Funds in 2026 seems to rather closely resemble a CDO-squared in early 2007.
One of the quickest things that becomes obvious when I start working with someone new is that they're almost always doing better than they thought. They come to me convinced they can't afford to pay themselves or that things just aren't...
